s4e6 “The Raven”
Food hand form:
Knife hand form:
Protect your digits out there.
“But the recipe said to include a thumb of ginger.”
Smokeshow.
Almost like our tools are alien to him for some reason.
Sure, but any advanced culture would still have basic cutting tools. The handle may vary based on species.
Maybe Talaxians traditionsally use the scissor-hands method
Damn you, take my upvote
Your examples are holding the knife wrong too.
They’re talking about the non-dominant hand. Neelix’s way will get those digits chopped off.
I’m just pointing out both hands are wrong.
Nelix is not gripping the food near the point of contact with the blade. And holding the blade like that, he’s not speed chopping anything.
Claw grip’s only really important if you’re working quickly with your gripper near the cutter.
Clearly, this indicates that only the officers on board had to ensure Nelix’s cooking. He’d never be fast enough to cook for all 150ish crew members.
True. Your example is what I do. My main concern was the food holding hand.
Edit: post updated, thanks
Doesn’t load for me. I think the URL got mangled
Any better?
Edit: saved image and uploaded. Now?
Much worse. Haha
Nah, he’s using a 24th Century knife with SawStop built in. If it touches skin it automatically stops cutting.
Talaxian skin has an E class cut resistance rating. Simple 15° ground stainless steel is no match. There’s no excuse for how he’s holding the blade, though.
Neelix bullshit his way in the door, but eventually became a decent moral officer/ambassador. Now I wonder about the accuracy of Riker’s portrayal as a chef.
But then I’d have to rewatch that finale. Let’s assume he knows what he’s doing.
Ooof. Yeah, let’s assume. (But I’d bet Frakes knows his way around a kitchen.)
How to tell if someone worked front-of-house or back-of-house during their struggling actor days.
But why are you complaining? It might actually improve the flavor.
And the more fingers he loses, the less likely he’ll be able to cook. You could be on to something.
I am this close to ordering the two Star Trek cookbooks.
I’m sure there’s some good recipes, just don’t count on Neelix to teach good form. Dude lied on his resumé just to hitch a ride.
I’d trust Neelix with my life!
Maybe those pics are taken from an episode where he was taking out his feeling on his ingredients.
Jesus, it’s like Snape made him cut those…
Gordon Ramsey would lose his shit on him
